His deliciously evil portrayal of Rowan/Eli Pope keep viewers guessing what kind of curveball he will throw each week.

The actor opened up about his crazy character during an interview with TheWrap.

“The show has been written and produced by a black woman (Rhimes) who now owns Thursday nights, which is spectacular all in itself. It stars a black female and we havenâ€™t had a black female lead on TV in 45 years. And the actual storyline itself, which takes place in Washington D.C., about a fixer who deals with Washington scandals,” he said.

According to Morton, the show’s star, Kerry Washington, should definitely win an Emmy for playing Olivia Pope.

“I think her work is spectacular. She brings a lot to that character,” he said.

“I think Jeff Perry (Cyrus Beene) deserves an Emmy for his work on the show. He was one of the reasons I wanted to be on that show. And Bellamy Young, who really broadened and deepened the role of Mellie (Grant).”

The Emmy-winning actor also admitted that despite his amazing performance, he’s not a big fan of television.

“The last show I binged watched was â€œBreaking Bad.â€ I donâ€™t watch a lot of television, which sounds strange for someone who works in TV. But usually when I turn the TV on I watch a movie or the news,” he said.

“But â€œBreaking Badâ€ was just an exceptional show. I think I watched about four episodes at a time with my girlfriend.”
